Best Time to Visit Seychelles
The best time to visit Seychelles is during the transition months of April, May, October, and November. During these periods, the winds are calm, providing excellent visibility for snorkeling and diving, and the weather is warm and pleasant. The southeast trade winds from June to September bring cooler, drier weather but can make the seas choppier, while the northwest monsoon from December to March is warmer and more humid.
Currency & Money
The local currency is the Seychelles Rupee (SCR). However, most luxury resorts, high-end restaurants, and tour operators quote prices in Euros or USD and accept major credit cards (Visa and Mastercard). Tipping is appreciated but not mandatory; a 5-10% tip for exceptional service in restaurants and for private guides is common practice in the luxury sector.
Getting Around Seychelles
For a luxury experience, the best way to move between the main islands is via domestic flights with Air Seychelles or private helicopter transfers with Zil Air. On the islands, private chauffeur services are recommended over public transport. For island-hopping to smaller islets, private catamaran or speedboat charters offer the most exclusive and flexible way to explore at your own pace.
